How much consideration given to location?

<p>I'm looking through all these posts with insane amounts of EC's, and I'm greatly disheartened!</p>

<p>Truly, I don't particularly care for many of those things, but the fact of the matter is that even if I wanted to pursue them, I couldn't! I live in a small city in valley VA - heck, opposite my school is a freakin' poultry farm and grazing meadow! The local university doesn't offer diddly-squat in the way of activities, and...you get the point.</p>

<p>VEXED! Is this going to badly hurt my chances?</p>

<p>Probably not. For most schools, academics are primary. If you have good grades, decent test scores, etc., you will be able to get into most schools.</p>

<p>People pursue their passions from anywhere. Especially in the internet age. The best ECs are not school clubs.</p>

<p>Um, kinda hard to pursue some of these things without school backing, you know.</p>

<p>Ummmm, don't tell that to colleges. They are looking for people who know how to make things happen.</p>
